[00:13] <olebarrera> I was looking for a bit of understanding using jscal
[00:14] <olebarrera> it seems I am not getting button events in my code and I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction
[00:16] <olebarrera> http://pastebin.com/xAWuAW88
[00:50] <olebarrera> no takers
[01:05] <olebarrera> never mind it seems lsub -v seemed to work
[01:09] <olebarrera> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/500834
[01:09] <olebarrera> ok it seems I have a work around
[01:10] <olebarrera> I use these joysticks all the time for things any suggestions on how to programatically make it work when its plugged in
[01:30] <Chipzz> olebarrera: I don't know what jscal is offhand, but it sounds like a web library
[01:30] <olebarrera> its just a tool to calibrate the joystick
[01:31] <Chipzz> olebarrera: there are no takers because a) if it is, that would be app development (not even), and that is very much off-topic here (cfr topic), and b) it's weekend, and all the devs are absent
[01:31] <olebarrera> well I was not so concerned with the calibration just why the events from the driver where not being seen
 thanks for the feedback
[01:34] <Chipzz> olebarrera: also a small suggestion: make it clearer what the question is about asap (ie in your first few sentences), so ppl know what you're talking about
[01:34] <Chipzz> I just read the first couple of sentences of what you typed
[01:34] <olebarrera> Its been a long time since I used IRC
[01:35] <olebarrera> I figure I would give it a shot cause I was stuck
[01:35] <Chipzz> the same could be said about RL conversations though
[01:35] <Chipzz> if you want ppls attention, draw it as quick as possible
[01:35] <olebarrera> Yes sir this is true,
[01:36] <Chipzz> no sir needed :)
[01:36] <olebarrera> Do you know much about the events provided by the driver
[01:37] <Chipzz> afraid not
[01:37] <olebarrera> joydev is the module loaded
[01:38] <olebarrera> well thanks for the feedback it seems I am getting output from the code after running lsub -v
[01:39] <Chipzz> you *could* try to ask on #ubuntu-kernel, although I'm not sure how on-topic it would be there
[01:39] <olebarrera> I will check with the kernel dev internal on monday see if they have a fix
[01:39] <Chipzz> but if you ask there, make sure to make it clear from the start joystick events are not getting through, and keep in mind it's weekend for the ppl there too
[01:41] <olebarrera> I will also read up on IRC comms again so as not to offend
[01:41] <Chipzz> offend.. heh :)
[01:41] <Chipzz> reading the channel topic before talking is always a good idea :)
[01:42] <Chipzz> but at least you're making an effort it looks ;)
[01:44] <olebarrera> thanks have a nice night
[01:44] <Chipzz> you too :)
[03:07] <micahg> cjohnston: when I'm done with my current project, shall I add you to the list of people who want to help maintain it?
[03:46] <wzssyqa> how to bump kernel abi?
[04:13] <goddard> how can I intergrate the ubuntu colors in a menu toolbar in qt?
[14:41] <cjohnston> micahg: sure
[17:05] <codemaniac> hello world
[17:05] <codemaniac> can i use a debian box as a ubuntu development platform ?
[17:06] <codemaniac> installing all the development toolbox in the mentined debian box ?
[17:34] <penguin42> codemaniac: Have a look at pbuilder
[18:14] <codemaniac> thanks penguin42
[21:13] <kalxas> hi all
[21:13] <kalxas> I am trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization#Advanced_Customizations for 12.04
[21:14] <kalxas> I have managed to change the live session user name as described
[21:14] <kalxas> but I fail to do so with the password and the background image
[21:14] <kalxas> I am working on this: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/build_chroot.sh
[21:14] <kalxas> any ideas?
[22:19] <TheMuso> infinity: It used to be in main.
[22:19] <TheMuso> infinity: But was dropped due to no python 3 support at the time when Orca was switched to python 3.
[23:22] <scientes> whats the rules on python shebangs and python versions?
[23:23] <scientes> does something that only works with python2 have to use /usr/bin/python2 ?
[23:23] <scientes> (and can python 3 provide /usr/bin/python)
